Grammy-winning singer Beyoncé just doesn't know how to lose in 2017. After welcoming twins and slaying in every public appearance she makes, Queen Bey has officially earned the title of highest-paid woman in music this year.

Lemonade was a hit with both critics and fans, giving Beyoncé her sixth solo No. 1. The ensuing Formation World Tour, much of it falling into our list's scoring period, grossed a quarter of a billion dollars. Then she took time off as she and husband Jay-Z welcomed twins Rumi and Sir this summer. Adele finished second, earning $69 million, boosted by seven-figure nightly grosses on her first proper tour since 2011. (Forbes)

Sources tell us Kim and Beyonce were actually cordial Thursday night at Serena Williams' wedding ... and they even exchanged hellos in the VIP section set up to avoid paps lingering outside. While Jay and Kanye once had a super close relationship ... the same can't be said about Kim and Bey. They're not friends - in fact we're told Bey never really liked Kim, although Kim never harbored a grudge. (TMZ)
